US forces to leave last bases in Iraq despite fears Iran will exploit withdrawal

US forces are set to pull out from their last bases in Iraq, leaving the country where 4,500 of their comrades died over more than 20 years of war.

What the coverage shows

Sky News and Newsweek both frame the story around the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and both connect it to Iran, but they do so differently. Sky News foregrounds the pullout from the last bases and says fears Iran may exploit it, while Newsweek’s framing is broader and more reflective, treating the withdrawals from Iraq and Afghanistan as a lesson about the limits of U.S. military power. Sky News alone adds the detail about 4,500 U.S. comrades dying over more than 20 years of war.
